The Climate Resilience Centre (CRC) is a non-profit organization established by a group of professionals with a strong drive to build climate resilience in Sri Lanka and beyond, with a primary focus on Asia. We believe in working together with communities and other stakeholders following a co-learning approach. Every stakeholder group involved in a climate problem has a story to tell and valuable insights to contribute. Our philosophy is to provide opportunities and safe environments for all to improve their knowledge, wisdom and skills and to contribute. To this mix, we bring international best practice guidelines, and global experiences and co-design our projects with beneficiaries and donors to maximize impact.
